The Cell: A Molecular Approach is an ideal resource for undergraduate students in a one-semester introduction to cell biology.

Cell biology instructors face the challenge of cultivating both the foundational knowledge and analytical skills that students need for their entry into an increasingly complex field.

The Cell: A Molecular Approach endeavors to address those issues with succinct writing, incorporation of current research, a test bank that encourages critical thinking, and an active learning framework. The text presents fundamental concepts and current research, including chapters on Genomics and Transcriptional Regulation and Epigenetics, and new in-text boxed features on Molecular Medicine and Key Experiments.

The Cell: A Molecular Approach is available with Oxford Insight. Oxford Insight pairs best-in-class OUP content with curated media resources, activities, and gradable assessment, in a guided learning environment that delivers performance analytics, drives student engagement, and improves student outcomes.

• Author created videos, integrating concept activities with instructor guide
• Learning objectives - each major section begins with Learning Objectives to help organize and focus students' attention on the material
• Summary and Questions - each major section concludes with a review, section summary, and questions, spanning several levels of Bloom's taxonomy
• Margin Notes - major points are summarized as margin notes throughout the text, providing a running outline of the material
• Illustrations and Micrographs - An illustration program of full-color art and micrographs have been developed to complement and reinforce the text
• Key Experiment and Molecular Medicine Essays - designed to provide students with a sense of both the experimental basis of cell and molecular biology and its application to modern medicine. These can also be used for student discussion.
• Data Analysis Problems present data from original research papers, with questions that engage students in the analysis of experimental methods. These provide material for discussion and opportunities for active learning
• FYI's - Sidebars that provide descriptive highlights of points of interest.
